Testo Where Have I Been?

Looked for love in all the wrong places
Tried to fill my heart in empty spaces
What a waste of time
Gave my all to those who don't deserve it
Almost messed around and lost my purpose
But I didn't know back then what I know now

I was afraid of being lonely Look at me now, damn, I miss the old me
I wish somebody would've told me
Now I just wanna hold me, and ask myself

Where have I been all my life?
Running from me when I needed me all this time
Where have I been all my life?
Searching for love from another when I'm just my type
Yeah, yeah

Going around in circles
Trying to prove to everyone else
Why I need love, and I'm worth it
I didn't realize just who I was
Didn't know that I was more than enough Made to believe I didn't have the power
Could've been sweet but I chose the sour
And finally I'm giving all of me my flowers

I've afraid of being lonely
Look at me now, damn, I miss the old me
I wish somebody would've told me
Now I just wanna hold me, and ask myself

Where have I been all my life?
Running from me when I needed me all this time
Where have I been all my life?
Searching for love from another when I'm just my type
Aye, yeah

Making up for the time I lost right now
Giving me the world just 'cause I deserve putting on my crown
Tapping into all my power now, and I know how
I'm saving my greatness where I'm appreciated

Where have I been all my life?
Running from me when I needed me all this time
Where have I been all my life?
Searching for love from another when I'm just my type
